FWIT-
I have several 270 WSM's, the one I like the best for all around use is a Rem 700 CDL-SF, I put a McMillan edge on it with a VXIII 2.5-8 it comes in at under 7lbs. It is very accurate with 130 NAB's. I've had no issues with feeding.
I dont have a WSM in the Kimber but I do in a 260, I like the CDL-SF better. A lot of it is probably the fit as I ordered a custom LOP on my McM.
The model 70 SS Classic feeds the smoothest (NH model).
Great suggestion on the Remington 700 CDL SF. In fact I see they offer that model in Weatherby 257 which is another caliber I've considered. The Remington website lists the weight at 7 3/8 pounds; are you sure it's under 7 pounds? That is a serious contender for what I'm looking for.
